I Call You Nancy

Description

Description

I imagine you to be a woman with a delicate body who delights in living.

Mum tells me that she would have named you Hung-jin. Dad still talks about the daughter he nev­er knew.

I call you Nancy. I imagine that you left to study overseas and have yet to return. You were born with a quiet nature and have become slightly ec­centric. Due to your own academic pursuits, I un­derstand why you have never taken the initiative to contact us and we dare not disturb you.

How are you? I continue to search for you on the internet. I look for someone with features similar to my own but with long hair dyed blond, a pair of shiny pupils that often look blue but turn brown in the right light, and wearing softly-coloured eye make-up. Your home city has unstable weather and so you wear clothes in various styles from differ­ent seasons. You have a large circle of friends who share information about you and your life on the internet, and this helps me create a more vivid and accurate image of who you are today.

Perhaps your departure has no return. I have cre­ated an album where I keep information that I col­lect about you so Mum, Dad and I may better know and remember you. You are now twenty-five years old. This album is the only record I have of your life.
